They don't do anything....they serve no purpose confused

I don't know, but there might be a decent explanation on an Internet site.

Serve no purpose? What a lie! There's a lot of things you can do to a man's nipple, and get a reaction

Mairuzu
Because it wouldn't be fair if only women can get theirs pierced and then we'd ask "Why do women only have nipples?? We're both human right!?"

steverules
I watched this drama where this guy got a nipple pierced and some dudes made fun of him for being gay because of it...dunno if it's actually considered gay though

Mairuzu
I wouldn't do it.

steverules
I wouldn't either, I don't want anything pierced erm

Ms Chelle
Because as embryos men and women have similar tissues and body parts. If anything the embryo follows a 'female template'. That is why nipples are present in both sexes. It is the effect of the genes, the Y chromosome and the hormone testosterone that brings about
the changes and masculinises the embryo. Testosterone promotes the growth of the penis and testicles. .Because nipples are there before this process begins the nipples stay!

So you got something to look at when you're talking to 'em.

Mairuzu
Assuming they are cold.

steverules
Strange how the cold can make nipples erect but do the exact opposite on the penis

occultdestroyer
Well, if you're opting for sex change...

The real question should be 'why do men have nipples and not breasts as well?'

Talk about unfair huh!

steverules
Because if we did we'd be stuck breast feeding the baby

Lord Knightfa11
ya we evolved smart. We get sex without consequence, don't have to breastfeed the baby, and are way stronger physically. Yes, ladies. It sucks to be you.

steverules
Well we could get a sexual disease...the only thing we don't get is...well...pregnant

Davehead
We don't menstrate or get PMS either.

Because all human embryos are inherently female. All it takes to make it a male is the Y chromosome. Thus, when the Y is introduced, the templates, if you will, for nipples stay in the male form.

If women have babies through their belly buttons, then why do men have them!?
